Remove private option for team games
  • Give ability to the host of game to switch game from private to public.

Specifics:
  • Especially team games are created as private ones in order to assure correct ppl to take place in the same team with game host. The problem with this is simply massive PM overhead for password inquires, also putting the pass in callouts etc. Callouts are barely used by %10 of CC society..
  • Define a button next to waiting game visible to game owner then he can switch game from private one to public one anytime he likes.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • In this way, the game maker will not need to make his games privates and then will not need to manage PMs asking the passwords etc.
  • The waiting games will fill quicker.
  • Players who doesnt want their games to be private will not necesarily be online at the same time to make sure of taking their place at the same time.

I like this idea..

You stand the risk of unwanted players joining a team game set up by you if you dont:
A. set it as private
B. have ever player you want on your team on the site and joining said game at the same time

This will make it easier for players to organize their team games respectively

The same exact thing would happen if you were allowed to password protect certain teams and not others, which makes this a near exact duplicate of a suggestion that has been posted 20 or so times.

It is on the official "To Do" list. Unfortunately, so are a lot of other great ideas. Some of them have been there for years.
